Sandra Bullock’s husband had an affair—allegedly—and the whole world knows about it. Luckily, someone in her past has gone through a similar situation and can offer some tried and true advice. That someone? Birdee Pruitt, of course, the main character in Hope Floats, played by, um, Sandra Bullock. Her four-step plan, outlined by Eleanor Barkhorn in The Atlantic:

Return to your roots: As you can tell from the accents in the trailer at left, Birdee went home to Texas; Sandra should head to Arlington, Va.

Pour your love into your daughter: Of course, Sandra doesn’t actually have a daughter, but she recently fought for custody of her cheating hubby’s daughter.

Be prepared for people to cheer your failure: Birdee had to deal with jealous former classmates; Bullock, too, may discover that “Hollywood's sweetheart she may be, but everyone loves watching the most popular girl in school fall flat on her face.”

If you run into a guy from your past, be nice: Harry Connick, Jr. eventually saves Birdee from a lifetime of loneliness, but only after she resists his wooing. “Bullock should skip the loyalty-to-her-husband bit when the next guy comes along.”

To make Bullock’s need for advice even more desperate, James was—reportedly—texting his alleged mistress as recently as March 14.

Its hollywood- 50 % of all marriages end in divorce...1 wife 1 husband is only observed in 3% of all animals..and some of them cheat..its tough when your brain is made to procreate--search out the best genes..and mate

They seemed so mis matched... What does she see in him? I mean, he is so out of her league... You can do better or you can move on. He isn't worth the time to file...
